On Sunday, March 31, 2019, the Office of International Student Services & Programs at Andrews University will host the annual international food fair in the Johnson Gymnasium. More than five thousand people are expected to attend and enjoy tastes from approximately 20 countries.

Student clubs will prepare food to sell at decorated booths. Food selections offered at the International Food Fair this year include Tanzanian bajia and maandazi, Korean cup bap, Brazilian cheese bread and bean stew, Kenyan chapati, French macaroons and tartines, and Asian red bean pudding and pancit.

Silmara Ferreira, associate director of International Students Services & Programs, stated this event has a rich history of 50 years. She is excited for its impact, saying, “The community is able to experience the diversity of different cultures and taste food from all over the world.”

This year’s food fair will take place from 12–7 p.m. Tickets will be available at the event in 50-cent increments. Students, staff, faculty and community members are encouraged to come to Johnson Gym and experience the tastes and sights of cultures represented at Andrews University.
